Description
Just listed is this very desirable 10-acre recreational property in LaPorte County, Indiana, along the Kankakee River. The property offers hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation, and includes several improvements that support year-round use. The acreage offers a combination of open, usable ground and riverfrontage, making it suitable for a variety of recreational and land-use purposes or as a possible future home-building site. In addition to all the benefits the river access provides, there is an almost 2-acre, stocked pond with its own island! The 30 X 54 mixed-use barn on the property is definitely one of the central improvements. The barn includes interior living space for overnight stays or extended visits, as well as ample storage for equipment, hunting gear, or any other supplies you want to keep safe and dry. There is already established electric service, internet, and a big, separate Bathhouse with its own well and septic system. Another small building could also be used for storage, a fish house, or whatever you dream up for it.
The Barn is set up for overnight or extended stay, hanging out with friends, recapping the morning hunt, telling fishing "stories" or watching the big game on TV. All in the warmth and comfort provided by the wood-burning stove. In the summer months, you may be inclined to camp out in front of a bonfire, under the twinkling stars, as the River flows lazily by, taking all the pressure and stress of the daily grind away with it. The Barn and building improvements allow the property to be used as a turnkey recreational base while maintaining flexibility for plans or building. The land has been used in the past, mainly as a getaway place for hunting and recreation, with the Kankakee River and a nice pond offering great fishing and water-based activities. The acreage, size, and layout allow for manageable maintenance while still providing privacy and plenty of natural surroundings for outdoor pursuits. Incredible wildlife and habitat are supported by the river corridor system, which attracts plenty of deer, turkey, squirrels, ducks, geese, and other birds and wildlife, including bald eagles, that make this area their home. In addition to its current use, the property includes a future building site. Buyers may consider this location ideal for additional improvements or structures, with the existing utilities adding value and reducing the need for infrastructure work.
Access to the property is via an established driveway off State Road 39, providing quick access for commuting or trips into town. The location provides a balance of seclusion and convenience, with nearby towns offering services, supplies, and additional amenities. The property is located approximately 15 miles from La Porte, 20 miles from Michigan City, 10 miles from Hanna, and 18 miles from Rolling Prairie. These communities provide access to grocery stores, fuel, dining, and other necessities. This property would appeal to buyers seeking recreational land with existing improvements, riverfrontage, and utility access. The combination of acreage, location along the Kankakee River, and on-site infrastructure supports a range of uses, including hunting, fishing, outdoor recreation, and future development considerations. Whether you're an avid hunter, angler, or simply someone who appreciates the great outdoors, this property is a true gem and a rare find. The property is part of a larger, almost 80 acres in total, so buying additional land is an option for someone looking for more outdoor space.
